It's because they think potheads can't spell, and go around killing people.

Because only alcohol and tobacco have been the staple drugs of white culture for the past two centuries. Giant industries came out of them, and the white-controlled governments felt they needed to protect those industries by mandating that they are the only two recreational drugs we are allowed to consume. And with the US's superpower status it has forced its moralist bullshit on the rest of the world, even in places where the indigenous population has traditionally altered their consciousnesses with other chemicals. So thanks to the anti-drug crusaders, you can get beheaded in certain countries for owning a plant that has been proven much much much less harmful than tobacco and alcohol, and jailed in many others. Even if you don't end up going to jail, you can get ostracized and denied employment.

So the reason why cannabis is illegal comes down to two factors. The first is racism, which is still one of the reasons it's illegal but less so since it's generally looked down upon to be openly racist unlike in the 30s when the U.S. Congress was moved by speeches about how crazed black and Mexican people would rape their daughters. The second is the global domination of American capitalism, the new dogma of the world. The hemp plant was shown to be extremely valuable as a source of fibers, as medicine, as a recreational intoxicant, etc. that other industries felt threatened and lobbied for its prohibition. The rise of the immense economic and military power of the US in the 20th century made other countries afraid to take a stand and they all bowed down to the rules of the New World Order, and to this day only the Dutch have the balls and the rationality to refuse that particular rule.
